Healthcare Standards (DICOM/HL7/IHE) Track

The Healthcare Imaging and Informatics Symposium has two simultaneous tracks, i.e. a Healthcare Imaging (PACS) and a Healthcare Standards (DICOM/HL7/IHE) track. In case you have acquired basic knowledge through experience or prior training, you can skip the first two days for each track and/or cross over to the other track.

This Healthcare Standards track contains a two day HL7 version 2 training followed by a one day seminar on the new FHIR HL7 standard and a two day advanced DICOM/HL7 troubleshooting class.

Your Instructor
